Installing an A64 proc

[stackingreasyBBs]

Can anyone point me in the direction of any photo guides that cover installing an A64 proc onto a motherboard. I've got a socket 754 proc and mobo coming next week and I've only done AXP systems in the past. I guess I'm looking for something like mechBgon's guide, but with an A64. Thanks!

The retail CPU comes with an installation guide (in several languages)

Cool, guess I'll figure it out, then, thanks. Any input from anyone on the process? Tips or cautions or anything?

naw you wont have any problem with it its pretty straight forward if you follow the instructions.
Only thing that scared me after i fired up my amd 64 in an abit kv8max3 was that the bios was in need of an update because the heat alarm went off and said my processor was running at 180 degrees F.
which of coarse was a false reading but it sure got my adrenaline going.
